>These pings are sent from numerous devices all over the world. They devices are infected with a trojan that is under the attackers command. DDoS is difficult to stop because so many devices are sending the pings. You can't just block their IP's because those devices are valid users on the network. Cloudflare uses a "scrubber" to filter the pings based on packet type (ICMP echo). Your PC could be sending them and you wouldn't even know.
Which literally means that [real] anons themselves could be part of the DDoS attack, without realizing it. If you notice your PC running abnormally slow, or your network speeds seem sluggish, CHECK YOUR PC FOR VIRUSES AND MALWARE!!!
